Atom's cursor doesn't change to cover the character behind it. So, if you work with CJK files and want a block cursor (à la vim-mode), then you're left with a half-character-width cursor (the cursor width is set to one &nbsp; by default).

I thought there was something weird going on with the node.js REPL's handling of backslashes in Strings. I was thinking, "Why are there twice as many backslashes!?" Then, it hit me: the output is correct! It is escaping the value of the string, just as if a programmer were to have typed it. Duh. You can use the output as-is when copy-and-pasting. No need to manually add extra backspaces! That's pretty convenient, eh? This really had me confused me at first, though, because I am so used to the behavior of Chrome's console, which prints out the unescaped string values (even though it does put quotes around the value).
